New Cochlear Implant Team in Peoria

January 29th, 2014

The Peoria Regional Office is part of a new cochlear implant team.

The cochlear implant process involves examination, surgery, device activation, and post-surgical therapy. Cochlear implants are designed to help children with profound hearing loss. This procedure benefits from a team approach because different healthcare professionals are involved at each step of the process. Teams create an integrated approach to treatment so all providers involved in the treatment work together for successful outcomes.
